so here we go……11 random facts about Helen, Naturally!

I moved out of my parent’s house when I was 17. Yes, obviously since I have an M.A. in CSD I did graduate high school, lol! I was actually still 17 when I graduated, and then moved out the summer after.

I was 22 years old when my mom had my baby sister! Yes I was totally shocked, yes I cried for a week because I didn’t want her to have another girl ( I was only girl ), and yes we have the same dad too!

My best friend from high school and I bonded in 4th grade. I stole her barbies. No true story, that is how we became best friends!

I have a fear of falling. Not just falling as in tripping over my feet, but actually falling from up high. Let me try to explain it. I am not scared of heights. I love the mountains and looking out at the scenery. Just don’t ask me to walk down from a super high place. I totally will get dizzy and shaky. I can barely do stairs in a stadium!

I refuse to drive in the outside lane when driving over a large bridge! Another crazy fear of mine is to have an accident on a bridge that would cause me to go over the side. Therefore I try to avoid the outer land as much as possible.

I love the show Sex And The City! I have seen every episode, have both movies, and will still always watch the reruns when they are playing on t.v.

I was a model for a “fashion show” for career day in 12th grade. They had two girls from each high school in the parish I lived in (yes we call them parishes as opposed to counties) that modeled an outfit from a local clothing store at the career fair.

I would prefer to have a cooking show on t.v. than be a famous model/singer/actress.

I could live in high heels! I work with small kids so I rarely wear heels to work, but I absolutely adore heels.

I changed my major three times in college before I figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up. Wait, who am I kidding! I still have no clue what I want to be when I grow up, haha!!

I once had a guy as a roommate. As in an actual roommate not a live in boyfriend. Best roommate ever!!

Now there are 12 little random facts about me. Some of you may have known these facts (all or some) while this is all new info to others. Now I have to answer my questions from Rebecca!

1) If you had 2 weeks and unlimited funds……where would you vacation? This is so easy for me…Europe! Unfortunately I would need more than two weeks to travel since there are so many places in Europe I would love to visit :)

2) If _____ is on the menu at a restaurant, I always order it This for me would most likely be tuna steak!

3) I never leave home without____________ My phone and my lip gloss!

4) What’s a skill/hobby you want to learn? I honestly would love to learn about painting.

5) What’s a food you’ll never eat? Hmmmm, there are several. Let’s say octopus at this point.

6) What magazine do you read every single month? At the moment Better Homes and Gardens because I had a free subscription, but honestly I rarely but/order magazines.

7) What’s something you’ve learned about yourself from blogging? I have learned that it is ok to let go and enjoy life. We can’t all be the perfect size, shape, person. I was so focused on being a healthy eater and exercising a few years ago that I was developing an unhealthy relationship with food. Once I began blogging and reading other healthy lifestyle blogs, I realized that the road I was traveling down wasn’t a healthy lifestyle. It is never healthy to deny yourself something because you are afraid of how it will affect the way you look. I know fully enjoy all foods/drinks without guilt. I try to live an 80/20 lifestyle, but I do admit that sometimes life happens. I no longer stress over everything I eat or drink!!

8) Best blogging advice? Just be yourself! No matter what you talk about as long as you are true to yourself people will not only read your blog, but they will look forward to new posts!!

9) Guilty pleasure? Dark chocolate and Channing Tatum!!

10) What advice would you give to your 15 year old self? No guy is worth trying to change who you really are for!

11) Are you introverted or extroverted? Extroverted :)

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”

I believe that beauty comes from within. ~ I believe a healthy lifestyle is the most important thing. ~ I am very spoiled. ~ I can be selfish and impulsive. ~ I'm obsessed with makeup, shoes, chocolate, and wine. ~ I love the color pink. ~ I need affection. ~ If I had to pick a style icon from the past it would most definitely be Audrey Hepburn.
